What is the most reasonable thing to find in the epidural space along the vertebral column?
a) adipose tissue
b) CNS white matter
c) elastic cartilage
d) cerebrospinal fluid *When synapse h releases neurotransmitter, that area of k's membrane shows a temporary, graded, depolarization. What is k's electrical behavior called?
a) an excitatory post-synaptic potential
b) an inhibitory post-synaptic potential
c) an excitatory pre-synaptic potential
d) an inhibitory pre-synaptic potential When synapse j releases a chemical signal onto k, k's membrane potential doesn't change. Instead, it installs more receptors for g's neurotransmitter, & responds more intensely the next time g is active. What best describes k's response to j?
a) post-synaptic inhibition
b) pre-synaptic inhibition
c) pre-synaptic facilitation
d) post-synaptic facilitationWhich of these structures is/are NOT part of a cerebral hemisphere?
a) amygdala
b) hippocampus
c) superior colliculi
d) corpus striatumThe cerebral hemispheres are connected to e midbrain by:
a) nerves
b) peduncles
c) association tracts
d) rootletsWhere are arachnoid villi located?
a) in the central canal & cerebral aqueduct
b) between the hypothalamus & the pituitary gland
c) In the ventricles of the brain
d) in the superior sagittal sinusWhere would a logical place to find the cell bodies of somatic motor neurons?
a) m
b) p
c) o
d) nA group of neurons in the cerebral cortex is processing information about sound. What structure did this information have to go through most recently to reach the cortex?
a) pons
b) inferior colliculus
c) thalamus
d) cerebellar peduncle
